A Study Based on Kuching Area of Sarawak Journal of Cognitive Sciences and Human Development. Vol. 2 (1), 37-48, September 2016 COGNITIVE SCIENCES AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Perceived Work Environment and the Occurrence of Accidents: A Study Based on Kuching Area of Sarawak Li Sa Lau1, Talwar P. Y.1*, Shahren Ahmad Zaidi Adruce1 and Yin Bee Oon1 1,2 Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia ABSTRACT Perceived work environment could be described as the opinions and attitudes of workers towards their work condition. Elements of perceived work environment such as physical environment, supportive work environment, and perceived work tasks may possibly be important factors that influence the occurrence of accidents. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between perceived work envi- ronment and the occurrence of accidents within an electronic manufacturing industry in Kuching, Sarawak. A cross-sectional survey utilizing a bilingual self-report ques- tionnaire was conducted to garner data from 50 workers. Independent t-test and Pear- son moment correlation were used to assess data. The results indicated that the occur- rence of accidents was not affected by age group. Although physical environment and perceived work tasks did not demonstrate significant relationships with the occur- rence of accidents, supportive work environment exhibited a significant inverse rela- tionship, thereby indicating that accidents could be lowered in the presence of higher supportive work environment. Thus, support and help from co-workers are essential determinants of safety at the workplace.

  • MALAYSIAN MUSLIMS CELEBRATE AIDILFITRI with JOY (Bernama 19
    19 JAN 1999 Raya-Roundup MALAYSIAN MUSLIMS CELEBRATE AIDILFITRI WITH JOY KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 19 (Bernama) -- Malaysian Muslims from all walks of life celebrated Hari Raya Puasa today with joy although not as lavishly as in the past years of economic boom. Moderation and pragmatism seemed to be the order of the day as they marked the end of their month-long fast of Ramadan with new clothes and "open house" where they welcomed friends and kin with specially cooked food. Many of them had returned to their hometowns to celebrate aidilfitri with their loved ones and to seek forgiveness from each other for any inadvertent wrongdoing, this being the day to renew bonds and to start afresh. Steeped in tradition, they made their way to the nearest mosque first thing in the morning for their prayers and thanksgiving to Allah. In the federal capital, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Ja'afar, and Raja Permaisuri Agong, Tuanku Najihah, accompanied by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, were among the thousands who performed their prayers at the National Mosque. Present were newly-appointed Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, several cabinet ministers and ambassadors of fellow Muslim nations. In KUALA KANGSAR, the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, performed Aidilfitri prayers at Masjid Ubudiah in Bukit Chandan with over 2,000 of his subjects. Present were Menteri Besar Tan Sri Ramli Ngah Talib and other state dignitaries. After the prayers, the sultan held open house for special guests at Istana Iskandariah while Ramli held open house at his official residence in Jalan Raja Dihilir.

  • Sarawak Property Bulletin Ppk 344/06/2013 (032242)
    SARAWAK PROPERTY BULLETIN PPK 344/06/2013 (032242) PROPERTY BULLETIN 12/2015 2H 2015 PROPERTY SARAWAK SARAWAK PROPERTY MARKET REVIEW 2015 AND OUTLOOK 2016 The overall property market for Sarawak is seen to be generally lack-lustre due to the weak buying sentiments. The anticipation of higher mortgage rates in 2015 and the increased inflationary pressure with the implementation of 6% GST in April 2015 have further dampened property sales for 2015 as buyers took on a wait-and-see attitude. On the positive side, this cautionary approach may have also resulted in some market corrections. Despite residential property being exempted from GST, the rise in costs of construction have pushed up the prices of residential property, generally between 3% and 6% for the year. Notwithstanding the less conducive climate, the property sector remains stable especially for those in prime locations. Residential properties priced below RM400,000 are still in good demand but properties on the upper end of the scale have been affected by slower sales. With the large number of new commercial units coming into the market, shophouses are also experiencing a much slower take-up rate and falling occupancy. In the face of a slackening economy, developers are offering attractive sales packages whilst investors are moving cautiously. Sarawak’s maintaining of the foreign ownership’s minimum pricing requirement at RM350,000 per property instead of the RM1 million minimum purchase price per property for foreign ownership by its West Malaysian counterparts, could make it a more attractive option. The announcement by the Sarawak Chief Minister that subsidiary land titles shall follow the land tenure of the original parent title augurs well for the property sector as the interests of owners and purchasers are protected.
